Chapter 34: Turn on the oil-water mode
Chongzhen wanted to adjust his strategy again, and Wang Chengen took a group of young eunuchs and thieves' pawns to carry a cauldron to the city.
Wang Chengen personally went to the imperial dining room to urge, only to know that it was not these eunuchs and palace maids who were lazy.
Due to last night's palace change, many eunuchs and palace maids ran away, and some died.
Therefore, the number of eunuchs and maids in the palace has decreased sharply.
During the day, I was busy all day, and I had no rest. Now I have to work overtime again, and in the middle of the night, many eunuchs and palace maids are tired and lie down.
Even the eunuchs of the Imperial Diet Prison have never done such heavy work.
The water and oil had been boiled, filled with cauldrons, vats, or basins, just waiting to be delivered to the city.
It's not a small job.
The palace maids and the old eunuchs will definitely not be able to lift it, and the young eunuchs will be limited.
Wang Chengen had to temporarily send more manpower, and temporarily sent 200 more people from the thieves to help, which was a little late.
Every pot, bucket and basin is full of pedaling, steaming, and firmly covered with a lid, one is to keep warm, and the other is afraid of spilling out and hurting people.
From the imperial dining room here, there was also a distance of several hundred meters, and four eunuchs or four rogues carried a pot, and when they went up to the city, they were exhausted and panting, and sweating profusely.
Chongzhen saw that he had come at the right time.
The Ming army officers and men were immediately prepared.
Even the barrels with pots and basins, lined up every two meters apart, a long line of long snake arrays, so that from the city tower above the noon gate to both sides extended, almost lined up with the south wall of the palace city.
At this time, Ma Shiyao had already guessed Chongzhen's intentions, and he was anxious, secretly scolding Chongzhen, a tyrant, for being ruthless and making too many bad moves.
No, the city must be reversed!
Could it be that he was beside the faint king, watching his brothers and subordinates being cleaned up?
But I can't make a single filament by myself, and it is difficult to make a forest alone, so I have to find an opportunity to contact the old department.
But at this time, his more than 1,000 surrendered generals were separated, and Chongzhen only let them do manual work, and did not let them directly participate in the battle, such as transporting corpses to the city, transporting bows and arrows, carrying boiling water and scalding oil.
This shows that this faint king does not trust these generals and is wary of them.
But no matter how dangerous it is, you have to go to them, and if you can counter a few, count a few.
Thinking of this, he sneaked down the city while Chongzhen was not paying attention.
At this time, a large number of thieves rushed to the city wall, and some of them had already climbed the old height.
Chongzhen shouted, "Oil-water mode, start!"
The Ming soldiers had already guessed the emperor's intentions, and after they were ready, they heard the emperor's words and acted one after another.
The cauldron, the pot and the bucket are placed on the dock, the lid of the pot and the lid of the pot are opened, and then they are put together
The heat rises, boiling water and boiling oil drips.
Many thieves were poured on their heads and burned by boiling water, and they had already been lucky to pray for blessings, but the key was that they couldn't stand the high temperature of oil.
The armor of the thief soldier general shrank and deformed when the oil was exposed to high temperatures.
How can human skin withstand it?
Those who fell down with their faces covered, those whose hands were burned and planted in mid-air, and those who ran from the base of the city wall with their heads in their hands, abounded.
For a while, the screams were ghostly and wolf howling.
The second thing is that the oil and water are mixed together, and the walls become extremely slippery from top to bottom.
Suddenly
Wang Chengen laughed, "The emperor made a little trick, and he made the thief's fart and pee, you look at this head fall, ouch, the ladder fell, and four or five ...... were rolled down."
was about to climb to the top of the city, but this time all the previous efforts were wasted, and they all fell.
Then they couldn't erect the ladder, not even at the foot of the city wall, and they ran screaming, not looking in the direction, they collided with each other and fell together, rolling and crawling in the ground.
It really became the king to eat watermelons, and then the tide of thieves who besieged the city retreated.
In this way, the army can also be withdrawn, and the horses Gong Yonggu, the squire of the military department, Wang Jiayan, and others have also let go, Your Majesty is wise
Brave and unparalleled, God bless me Daming.
Seeing these thieves so embarrassed, Chongzhen sneered, "It's enough for you to toss for a while."
"Rush, those who retreat die! Your grandma's, who told you to step down, click, click......
"Don't retreat, or you'll be killed!"
Liu Rukui, the mighty general of the right who personally supervised the battle, used the sword in his hand to cut down several who retreated and fled one after another, and the thieves stopped their positions.
Then they began to rush forward again, but three more times in succession, but it was still difficult to climb to the top of the city, and a large number of thieves only lingered near the moat and the walls.
Some ladders can't be erected.
Some were barely supported by a few soldiers to erect a ladder, but the thieves climbed into the air, the ladder overturned, and the thieves who climbed the city gave up all their efforts and fell down.
Liu Fangliang in the back saw it and quickly stopped.
The thieves temporarily missed the moat and returned to their original positions, and this time the thieves' large-scale siege failed again.
Liu Rukui, who was covered in oil and blood, came to see Liu Fangliang and asked what to do next with a depressed face.
This time, Liu Fangliang was not in a hurry.
He now realized that the Ming army in the palace was by no means idle.
can make him repeatedly frustrated, lure the enemy to ambush, make Ma Shiyao defect, persuade the city to surrender and disturb the hearts of our army, and now use this kind of oil and water warfare to fight, all this shows that there are definitely masters in the city!
Liu Fangliang felt that he was too light on the enemy, so that he suffered a big loss.
The words of that eunuch Wang Dehua are simply bullshit.
We have to think of a way, and this is not the way to attack.
Thinking of this, Liu Fangliang forced himself to calm down and began to use his wisdom.
When the soldiers were desperately working in front, he observed the terrain, and he had already done it in his heart, so he called Liu Rukui to the side, and the two of them pointed and pointed.
Liu Rukui nodded, and then the two generals acted separately.
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
